The responses you have gotten provide excellent advise on how to optimize
your system. However, your original question and immediate concern was to
recover your system to normal. Unless you had previously gone into msconfig
and unchecked items in the Services or Startup tabs, everything was probably
checked. Unchecking items that are installed on your system is a way to
force them not to run. I have a couple of Startup items unchecked that
came preinstalled on my computer but had conflicts with JAWS. Once you
return your computer to normal, then you can optimize your system if
desired.

Hi Gerald,
Thank you very much for this information. There is a lot of info on that
website. Unfortunately, for me anyway, it all ran together and became
confusing. The reason it became confusing is that my computer
language/comprehension skills suck at best. I will return to this website
to help me understand everything in the MS configuration utility better.
Thanks again, take care.
Mike

Subject: [Blind-Computing] msconfig question
Howdy All,
Yesterday I made a major mistake. Yup, I got on the computer before
consulting with Doctor Phil. Anyway, I was in "msconfig" and I rebooted
the
computer. This is where the fun begins. I got distracted and pressed
the
space bar on the wrong check box and the ending result was that
everything
in the Services & Start Up page were disabled. My wife came to the
rescue
to enable everything on these 2 pages and we were able to get the
computer
working again. Now, the questions. On the Services tab there is a long
list of things that are to be checked or unchecked. I currently have
everything checked. Is everything in this list supposed to be checked?
If
not , would someone please tell me what should be unchecked? All of your
help is desperately needed and will be greatly and gratefully
appreciated.
Thanks much, take care.
Mike
